Hu Xinyi, founder and CEO of Boonray Technology, introduced the company's development history and core business. Hu Xinyi said that he and Dr. Yang Yang, as roommates of Jiaotong University, brought their alma mater genes to start a business together, and grew from being stationed in a mining shed to a leading start-up company in the field of autonomous driving in mines with more than 100 employees. , through the establishment of a joint R&D center to cultivate leading talents in science and technology, and make more contributions to the society and the alma mater. The company currently focuses on mines, radiating related industries horizontally, vertically connecting the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and empowering the energy industry. As a member of Jiaotong University, Hu Xinyi is very proud of the vigorous development of his alma mater. In the future, he will lead Boonray Technology and Jiaotong University to promote the research and development of artificial intelligence and autonomous driving technology and their extended applications in related industries. The development of the energy industry, together with the alma mater, will contribute to the realization of my country's intelligent and low-carbon goals.

Deputy Dean Zhu Lei hoped that the establishment of the joint R&D center will give play to the respective advantages of both parties, strive to build a development community, and take the joint R&D center as a starting point to further explore a new model of collaborative development between the college, alumni, and alumni enterprises. Dr. Yang Yang said that the academic research strength of Jiaotong University can provide reliable design guidance for the R&D work of Boonray Technology. Through Boonray's industrial development ability, the research results can be used in engineering practice as soon as possible, "from the laboratory to the mine", Face the challenges posed by real-world scenarios.

The establishment of the joint R&D center between the two parties can directly promote the stable commercialization and mass production of Boonray’s autonomous driving technology, accelerate the transformation of scientific research achievements of Jiaotong University, promote the innovation and development of industrial technology, and establish a benchmark for the integration of production, learning and research in the autonomous driving industry.
